East London Citizens' Panel

We want the panel to represent the diverse local population of Barking and Dagenham and help us to hear the views of as many different people as possible. By being online, we hope to engage with more people who represent the local demographics of Barking and Dagenham and to hear their voice.

Please note that the panel well supplement the existing public engagement events and methods that we carry out.

What does it involve?

Using your phone or computer, at a time that suits you, you’ll be able to tell us your thoughts on our ideas or proposals, or give feedback or suggestions on health and care issues or topics through short surveys. You’ll only need to give 20 minutes of your time every four to six weeks, and we'll always let you know the results of your involvement and how your feedback will be used.

By taking part, not only are you getting your voice heard, you’re also giving back to others in your community as together we improve and shape our health and care services. You don’t need to use or know about health or care services to be involved, the panel is open to everyone.
